1914 Nach Paris

Ойын-сауық

In August 1914 many French people were proud to fight for Freedom, against autocracy and pangermanism. Germans and French were confident of victory, the former would soon see themselves in Paris and the latter in Berlin, all of them knew the price of duty.
The vast majority of soldiers mobilized in August 1914 thought that the conflict would be swift and that they would return home for the harvest at the latest. It was with fervor and conviction that all of them took the "flower with the gun" to the battlefield. During the battles of the borders and the Marne, the losses amounted to more than 1,128,000 men of all nationalities, with about 293,000 killed.

    Indeed, examples of play are not the easiest thing to do from a design standpoint!! Very time intensive, and a real stress test for the proofreading effort!

    Hi Stiglr, thank you for the visit. I was very impressed with the game examples, not 1 but 2 full scenarios.

    Wasn't interested. But Vuca does beautiful games. Only have the Bug River. Just did 6 Compass preorders and 1 pay in advance. Atlantic Sentinels: no pay later. May add this to list for another time. Got 40 Orcs coming in plus i want to get Osprey's Silver Bayonet rule set. Nice 👍 for Nangwaya. Be safe. Be careful. Stay dry.

    I should pick this one up but I probably missed the bus and it’s likely too expensive now.

    Hi thegrogshed, it’s not cheap, but not too crazy, you can order it from VUCA directly. I may have put a link in the video description. I get nada from it. =}

    The thing about this game is, it tends to handle a lot of functions "its own way"; that is, different than most, if not all games that came before it. Combat (and "saving throws") based on a d20; different CRTs for different types of combat. But the rules really go above and beyond the call of duty to illustrate in explicit detail the calculations and modifications used to arrive at the result. There was only ONE of these examples that caused the slightest bit of confusion for me and my buddy, as we played an intro scenario with via Vassal. Part of that was that it was a description that spanned two examples in the rules, but that we saw as one case in the game we were playing. This entire box just oozes quality. The counter reprint saga was just part of it. To say it was a non-issue to begin with is not overstating the point. But, it still wasn't good enough for Vuca so they re-printed the "offending" sheets and mailed them, unbidden (and unexpected) to everyone who bought a copy. That; is putting one's money where one's mouth is, when it comes to quality control!!! I've played some of the small "card-based" scenarios, and they've served their purpose well, in highlighting certain aspects of the game, like fort reduction, or artillery combat. I am really keen to play one of the campaign scenarios. It would seem to be a shame to only limit oneself to the 12 or so small-map scenarios only.

    I have yet to play any of the scenarios and will start at the beginning. I really like the mix of small/short scenarios and bigger/longer games all in one box. No, VUCA are not the first to do this, but i appreciate the effort. They have done a similar thing with Red Strike, many varying size scenarios. Again, thanks for watching and commenting on the video. =)

    And yes, the attention to detail and quality is top class. They ship their games out of Dallas i believe for US based customers. I can not help but buy their games. =)
